Advantages of Horizontal Centrifugation over Fixed-Angle Centrifugation

Horizontal Centrifugations leads up to a 4 fold increase in platelet and leukocyte yield when compared to L-PRF and A-PRF fixed-angle protocols.

Histological evidence that fixed-angle centrifugation leads to cell accumulation along the distal back surface of PRF tubes whereas horizontal centrifugation leads to more even distribution of cells.

Further evidence that fixed-angle centrifugation leads to uneven cell accumulation along the distal back surface of PRF tubes.

Evaluation of 24 different protocols for the optimization of PRF via horizontal centrifugation.
